Rear Admiral Hyman G. Rickover, father of the atomic submarine, recently expressed the significant idea that no society can function without its indispens- able men, True, there is no such person QS the indispensable man, but we should not proceed to the incorrect conclusion that neither does a democracy have iv- dispeusable men, In other words, the nation needs the superior student and it is up to the school to train him. The private military school is especially equipped to train the leaders of tomorrow by imposing the most de- manding and challenging curriculum, and insisting on those formative disciplines which alone can promise proficiency in doing and thinking. A5 Dr, Brown used to say, our goal is to train eagles, not dodo birds! This Academy is dedicated to this high purpose, and we of the facul- ty trust that our graduates this year and in the years to come will have been trained, at least in some small measure, to take their places in the select ranks of our iizdixperzsable men, F . gzvbffaj Nav HEADM STEH Mrs, A.

'C 'Ar T' bt Chaplain Bubna Maj. Bitteriin Mr. Cauwels Maj. Barham Gen. Smith Maj. Collings Two cold words. Wonder what keeps this 'cold-blooded' body from congealing in its own ruthlessness? The above is the idea of one cadet, though the words are mine. As a matter of actual fact, one of the purposes of the Executive Com- mittee is to achieve fair play for every cadet in the academy. Sometimes a cadet makes a mistake or has a little hard luck. The Committee, by listening carefully, separates the wheat from the chaff, separates the hard luck from the planned delinquencies, furnishes a defense counsel for the lad on the carpet , and frequently gives him a better deal than he actually deserves, because the Committee believes, first, in giving the cadet in trouble a second chance, if it can possibly find a way to do so. The above-named procedure is only one of the many duties of the Executive Committee, but it is an important one to the cadets. film.
